Editorial dispatch for pet parents on the move.
We’re an independent editorial team obsessed with making pet transport less stressful, less expensive, and less confusing, with two decades of brand history and a methodology you can audit.
Two decades of pet transport, decoded.
Canine Cab started in Colorado as one of the early dedicated pet taxi and dog walking services on the Front Range, Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder. For nearly twenty years the focus has stayed the same: getting pets to the vet, the groomer, the boarding spot, or across the country, safely and without the hassle most pet owners deal with.
Today, Canine Cab is a national editorial team led by Faz, who took over the business in 2026 and refocused it as an independent editorial property covering pet transport, dog boarding, doggy daycare, pet sitting, and dog walking. We pull real operator quotes every month, decode airline pet policies as they change, and review the major US operators across all five service categories. Our Colorado roots remain visible in the local pet taxi coverage, while the editorial team now spans all 50 states and 30+ international destinations.
Pet transport is opaque on purpose. Marketplaces market themselves as cheap; concierge services market themselves as premium. The truth is in the numbers and the operator history. We publish those numbers and that history, and we keep them current.
How we work, in three lines.
Primary sources only.
Regulations cite USDA APHIS, IATA, the airline’s own pet policy page, or the relevant state veterinary board, never an aggregator. Health-adjacent articles are reviewed by a licensed veterinarian, named and credentialed.
Real quotes, refreshed quarterly.
Every cost article uses real quotes pulled from operators within the last 90 days. We list the date the data was collected and rerun the panel each quarter. Stale numbers get flagged before the article does.
Disclosed and ranked separately.
We earn referral fees from vetted operators and affiliate commissions from gear partners. Full list at /affiliate-disclosure/. Affiliate revenue does not move rankings, if a higher-paying option is worse, we still say so.

Why an experienced researcher leads the editorial
Pet care decisions across transport, boarding, daycare, sitting, and dog walking all sit at the intersection of regulation (USDA APHIS, IATA Live Animals Regulations, EU 576/2013, state veterinary boards), real-world logistics, and the very real anxiety of handing your pet off to a stranger for hours or days. You cannot write usefully about it without genuine experience, both as a pet owner who has been through the process, and someone who has spent enough time in the literature and the operator weeds to know what works in practice versus what looks good in marketing copy.
Faz took over Canine Cab in 2026 and has spent the past two years researching pet transport regulations, dog boarding standards, and the veterinary literature on canine stress, socialization, and behavior. USDA APHIS rulings, IATA Live Animals Regulations, EU 576/2013, and AVSAB position papers are part of regular editorial work, and every guide on the site translates those primary sources into language built for pet owners, not industry insiders.
The editorial direction is grounded in years navigating pet care logistics as a multi-dog owner, including a cross-country relocation and international pet moves. The standards here are what we would want when we are the ones shipping our own pet: real numbers, primary-source citations, honest comparisons, and a clear distinction between what we have personally tested versus what we have researched.
